The U.S. Armys rotary-wing aircraft modernization effort, Future Vertical Lift (FVL), promises aircraft that exceed the performance parameters of the current fleet with respect to faster speeds, increased maneuverability and precision, and capacity to facilitate longer duration missions. These changes to the aircrafts design and capabilities will also translate into changes to the physical demands placed on aircrew. In order to promote the health and safety of the aviator as well as career longevity, evaluations of current medical fitness standards and the physical demands of design elements are needed. In this report, we summarize recent findings from retrospective epidemiological reviews that identified conditions and diagnoses concurrent to aeromedical dispositions, discuss the human physiology-critical aspects of FVL aircraft as is established, and provide recommendations for preliminary changes to aeromedical standards for FVL aircrew.
